Refresh Your Spirit is one of my personal favorites. This photo was taken in my art studio. I love happy art and this one captures a lot about me – my favorite colors, a cool lemon and who doesn't love a striped straw! :-) My spirit is refreshed just looking at it and I hope it evokes similar feelings for you!

Ever since I was a teenager perusing home design magazines, I've always been drawn to rooms that are clean and bright with a touch of vintage thrown in. A fun, retro sign hung over a sofa or the breakfast table always made the perfect design statement.

But what about the message? It's so important to have God's Word visible in our homes –why not make it meaningful and stylish? I'm inspired by the passage in Deuteronomy 6 "these words which I command you today shall be in your heart ... write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." Surrounding ourselves and our family with His Truths can help instill them in our hearts.

Expressing our faith throughout our home is central to my work – in the art I paint, products I design, the ideas in my book, and in this Inspiring Ideas blog. My work is about meaningful style. Putting God's Word in our heart is easier to do if we see it often, right? We can influence a life for the better through our home decorating!

My art combines uplifting scripture with that classic vintage style that goes anywhere. To create the look of retro signs I paint a background of multiple layers of color on wood panels. Then design art and type based on a Bible verse or uplifting phrase that speaks to me. I put each piece through an aging process to give it an authentic finish.

DaySpring.com is reproducing a selection of my works in 18x22 gallery wrapped canvas. The art flows around the sides and they are such nicely crafted wall pieces! I love the wrapped canvas style that fits with any decor and the corners are tucked to perfection. I know you'll be so pleased with DaySpring's quality! They put so much labor into these American-made canvases and still they're so affordable!

So ... which art canvas do you like best!!?? I'd love to hear your feedback!! Thank you!

I have had my eye on your This Is The Day art for a while, it would look gorgeous in my older daughter's room. I Have Great Plans For You would be perfect in my toddler girl / baby boy aqua and red nursery!

These are beautiful!! Your work is so fun and uplifting, very talented lady :) I really love the Amazing Grace canvas - I sing that song to my Little One everyday and would love to have this front and center in our home :)

What a fun picture, seeing you surrounded by your art! I am loving the Refreshed one. How cute that they look like old advertisements and then suddenly there is that surprise inspiration that hooks you in! Congrats! Great size btw! Your Soul*sister, Rachél

Oh I love them all. :) But I do love that new Amazing Grace one!! I also love one of the older ones, Bless this Nest, the colors in that one are very pretty. But, I also love the ones with scriptures!! So, I would take one of each! ha!! :) BEAUTIFUL!!

I have never seen your paintings before! I love them. My sister just bought her first home and has biblical sayings all over her house. These would be perfect for her decor. I personally love the Amazing Grace one. It is simple and to the point and the color would match my home. Amazing Grace was my grandmother's favorite song. I think of her when I see those words or hear the song. Thank you for sharing your talent God has blessed you with!

Jeanne, I love the way you used short but right to the point sayings in your art. The bold colors really make them stand out. Any one shares an important message. I really like the "Life is Full of Blessings" because we all need daily reminders of what God has given us! Thanks for sharing.

My favorite canvas wrap is Blessings with Amazing Grace a close second! I love how you create a nice way to display the word of God throughout our homes. Thanks for sharing your gifts and talents with us!

I am vey interested in the board that shares that it is through Christ that strengthens me. I would love to have something so heart felt and true to display on my wall. I love Day spring, and I can see this is a wonderful reason to have this contest, drawing, etc. I have Syringomyelia a progressive neurological degenerative desease without a cure. I am homebound, and searching for answers. today this came into my perview. what an amazing way to Show Christs Strength -he leads and I follow. I would be honored to display any of Jeanne Winters amazing display's of art in the room that will find my cure! May today be a blessing to all and if this is to be- may it be.

JeanneI like. The Style and messages of your Canvas. The one I like most is Life is full of Blessings but very close to it is Beautiful in its own time. How lovely words. They give, trust, patience, confidence, it is like watching the horizon and now for sure, we will be there. Thanks for that choice. Graciela

I would love to win these for our Christian Women's Job Corp site here in Paris, Tx. We are just now decorating the third floor of the children's building at FBC Paris, and we NEED all the help we can get for making this big space one that constantly reminds women of our great Saviours love. Would mean so much to win!! Blessings

Jeanne, I have to agree with you on the "Refresh Your Spirit" canvas. It's a daily prayer of mine that God would refresh my spirit so that others will see Him through me. I love the colors, it would look beautiful hanging in my yellow with white trim kitchen. I have never seen your artwork or read anything you written, so I'm excited about jumping off off here and going over to your blog and Facebook for a bit of encouragement. Thanks again for the opportunity you'be given us girls to win one of your beautiful canvas paintings. Hugs in Him...debbie.vagirl@gmail.com

Thank you for sharing your God-given talent-what a gift! I love the "We Will Serve the Lord" canvas with the lovebirds - I just love it! Definitely a reminder of a secure foundation for the home - God bless!

Each of these pieces brought a smile to my face. Refreshing, indeed! They would look great hanging in various places throughout our church - the classrooms, the fellowship hall. . . Keep up the great work, Jeanne!

Very nice!!! The floral blessings would look great in my kitchen and the lighthouse one would go great in my boys' room! Hard to decide! Would love to win! Mommyinca (at) yahoo.com. Thanks for the chance! :) Amy

Oh, my. Well I guess I'd have to choose "This is the day..." I pray it every morning and "choose" to rejoice in it...no matter what! Then I sing it, and also sing "Morning has broken" to myself. Gets the day off to a wonderful start!Nancy Vaughannumber1dce@aol.com

"God is good all the time" reminds me of a friend. Her husband passed away in a car accident and she reflected on how he was at a retreat and celebrated his relationship with God all the time. In her deepest grief she could share that "God is good".What strong faith - and this reminded me of her. Thank you!Angie (angburman@yahoo.com)

Your art work is so refreshing & is very inspiring with the words of faith. I'm always very moved by Amazing Grace & would love to have this canvas in our home to remind us of our many blessings from our Lord.

What a gift you have Jeanne! My favorite is also "Refresh." The colors and imagery makes me soul take a deep sigh akin to the moment after I sip cool water. Perfect canvas for a kitchen to remind us of the Living Water always available for us. Many Blessings to you and your art ministry ~
